Bafu also says he sees
hospital clowns as the honey bee,
the children as the flowers, and
the laughter a the pollen.

Happy Happy 25th Anniversary to our favorite clowns. You have brought laughter, magic and a sense of wonder to our patients, families and staff…. what could better than that?!? Here is to 25 more years ahead!!!

It almost feels like an out of body experience. It’s hard to believe this night is finally here, or actually happening. We wade through the blathering of the returns from the polls, and pass through a door in history with existential trepidation. There are two sides in this country -scarcely ever more divided- each of whom currently still believe they can -or will- win. For me it’s not so much about “winning” as it is about the cognitive dissonance I feel at trying to even contemplate some kind of alternative.
Welp, here are some memes.
